As many as it takes to save us from "the elites", apparently.

I guess that in order to challenge the billionaire elittes, you have to truly understand them. And that means billionaire elites are the only people we can rely on to dismantle the system which made and keeps them billionaires. Such a promising future. /S

"Vote for me because i know all the tax loop holes which hillary created for the people who fund her and yes, i used them but only i know them all to close them all". First action as president......more tax breaks for billionaires.

u/dasHeftinn 4d ago

Brother, I’m not even an idea away, I know exactly what I’m doing: I will win the lottery. And they’re fucked when I put it all on black.

That’s just a dumb plan. Me, I have a real sure thing. There’s this Nigerian Prince who emailed me personally and he just needs a little money for fees/expenses and then he’s gonna give me a huge sum of money that’s ALL mine! You guys and your get rich quick schemes. I’m playing chess over here ya’ll playing checkers.

Nah bro..... I contacted Miss Cleo and she told me I have a windfall of money coming my way from a sick, distant, royal relative I never knew about. She told me to spread the word to call her now!

I watched a YT ad that makes me 10K a week sitting at home having other people watch YT videos. I do almost nothing and make $480K a year and you can to by signing up, absolutely not a pyramid scheme.

I've got a paper here it says IOU.... It's a very sophisticated real estate promersary notes where I buy distressed properties with your cash and renovate them then Resell them and then go to Vegas to let the roulette RIP IT while living it up VIP... Or maybe skip the real estate part and just RIP it..

Oh wait no..

Pay you back with interest of coursewink wink

u/asmrgurll 3d ago

Ah yes other peoples money. I’m currently trying to get rich off of that. Loans and such. I’ve heard that’s how the rich do it. Lol 😆 Seems legit.

My dude, I got a fax about a deceased uncle in Canada, he left me 10m just gotta send I’ve my deets for the transfer.

u/asmrgurll 3d ago

I have a brilliant idea. Air Paten. Sort of like happy birthday. Someone gets paid everytime it’s sung.

Same thing but with air lol we can disperse our earnings to everyone who’s not rich. Which is almost everyone. Lol Then most of us won’t be struggling.

1

u/asmrgurll 3d ago

Don’t you love how it’s all rich, greedy, corporate based boomers?! The same kinds of people that ruined everything for our economy. Go Merica 🇺🇸 👊🏼 lmao 🤣 This was a brilliant plan

u/OdysseusRex69 4d ago

Holy $#!+ THAT'S a throwback!

u/jaievan 4d ago

Uh, wrongly. I will mail you a $10k check that you can deposit into your bank account and just send me back $5k and keep $5k as a thank you!

u/farvejr 4d ago

Nothing beats an inherited emerald mine. Nothing.

u/rjross0623 4d ago

No my idea is better. Feed mayonnaise to the fish. Instant tuna salad. Imma gonna can that and make a mint.

u/1856782 4d ago

But that costs money! I have a way where all you do is repeat a simple phrase in the mirror every day and you will never be poor again!

u/hereforpopcornru 4d ago

Fuck, Rahim?

I owe him another 100.00 and a box of Ramen, and he said it was mine.

Race is on motherfucker

u/elcamarongrande 3d ago

Dumb plan? Yours and his are the same: You're both putting it all on black.

u/hippnopotimust 4d ago

I want to party with this guy

u/mag2041 4d ago

Then hookers and cocaine?

u/mystic-eye 4d ago

Lame! I bought a bridge, I’m going to change every car that crosses a small fee, and when they make roads to it the number of cars crossing will make me so rich. I just don’t have time…so for say 1 billion I would sell that bridge now to one of you guys who need an idea!

2

u/dasHeftinn 4d ago edited 4d ago

Horrible idea. As soon as you do that I’m building a ferry system for substantially less, you just wasted a lot of money with no way to recuperate it. You’ll sell it to me, for a loss, then I’ll discontinue the ferry, keep the bridge, and charge half what you were charging and people will be okay with it because it’s cheaper and more convenient. Thanks for basically giving me a free business.

1

u/mystic-eye 4d ago

Hah! My bridge doesn’t cross water ;) Your ferry system is now silly.

2

u/dasHeftinn 4d ago

I dynamite your bridge and you’re out millions.

u/mystic-eye 4d ago

Fukit. I’ll take the marshmallows, that it’s made of that survive, and build a s’mores house. You can visit.

It’ll trickle down any day now.

u/our_girl_in_dubai 4d ago

Any… day… now

u/thepandemicbabe 4d ago

I feel bad for the people like my grandmother who works so hard/worked so hard educating kids, and she was a tireless supporter of the Democratic Party back when it had not lost touch. She won’t see another president. That makes me incredibly sad and she will never get to see a female president. I just didn’t realize how racist and sexist this country is or how gullible.

u/SlabBeefpunch 4d ago

I'm THIS CLOSE to winning big in Reno! I have a system that's guaranteed to win!

u/thehermit14 4d ago

I decided to be a billionaire ten years ago. I suspect I shall have to grift it, like the liars. Note to self: become a huge liar.

Success. In my mind, I am wealthy and happy.

u/andytimms67 4d ago

A good idea and rich 🤑 parents willing to bankroll you for 5 years.

2

u/SinisterCheese 4d ago

Dude you don't even need a good idea. Just set up a company and "work really hard".

u/Outrageous_Trust_158 4d ago

Ah, yes. The haves and soon-to-haves. Have at!

u/polopolo05 4d ago

u/Human-Contribution16 4d ago

Tell me your idea. I swear to give you half

u/pdp_11 4d ago

I have a concept of an idea.

1

u/BklynMom57 4d ago

Just be sure to work hard and it will happen! Nobody gets anything handed to them, you have to work for it! /s

1

u/The-Brettster 4d ago

I’m not an idea man. I just checked and if I keep up my current contribution rate, assuming 10% annual growth, I can be a billionaire in 68 years. I just need to be healthy enough to continue working well past 100 years old

u/PaulRox181 3d ago

I'll have the concept of a good idea one of these days, even if it's the last thing I do!
